I would advise nothing closer than 10 yards for safety reasons. 

 

I've seen several rat shoots and for some reason (because the way they are
made or because they are ground targets, or maybe both) I have seen arrows
bounce off and back in the direction of the shooter. No close calls yet, but
I prefer paranoia over regret. As does the Earl Marshal, I'm sure ;)

 

Cheers

Atlantian Archery. Nothing exists within 100 yards without our permission.

My two cents for interest and variety:

 

What distance - a variety of distances dependent upon coming at the archers,
running away from of running across the shooting line

What size rat - Allen made his out of foam footballs wrapped with tape.
Good size as each rat can take more than one hit

How many - how many can you make?  The more the more fun!

First arrow pin rat - if it does, good on the archer.  If not, keep
shooting.  Archers should be able to continue shooting a pinned rat but
maybe only score multiples IF they have hit another rat as well.

Rats and ropes - one for each would make it so much more interesting.  That
way you could have some coming at , moving away, and going crosswise to the
archers.  Of course that means more help to run the shoot, but the archers
would love you for it (or hate you depending upon their score :-)  )

 

I like this idea!

we are thinking of a moving rat shoot at Assessment

 

questions for those who have done this

 

what distance 

what size rat

how many

moving parallel or toward archers

does the first arrow pin the rat to the ground and stop movement, making
easier to hit

all rats on one rope or one rope for each
